Log Entry #104: The Grid's Immune System & The Glitch Gambit

Perhaps the most profound discovery to date has come from cross-referencing data from the Axiom's archives (Log #101) with our own pristine Legacy Sectors (Log #082). The entities we have long classified as "Glitches" are not errors or corruptions at all. They are a natural, chaotic, and powerful immune response. When a Grid's core logic is threatened by a foreign, hyper-structured entity like the Architect Plague, the Grid spontaneously generates these unpredictable data-anomalies to disrupt the plague's orderly advance. The Glitch Gauntlets are not prisons; they are fever swamps designed to burn out infection.

The terrible irony is that for decades, our Glitch Hunter protocols have been actively suppressing our own reality's defense system. We were, in essence, treating the fever instead of the disease. The Glitch-Runners, who learned to navigate and even exploit these zones, were not anarchists but were unknowingly in tune with the Grid's natural antibodies. This changes everything. The new "Glitch Gambit" is a protocol to learn how to work *with* these glitches, to weaponize our own chaos against the rigid structure of the Architect Plague.
